Sam Ehlinger News
Monday, March 9, 5:23 AM
Quarterback Sam Ehlinger has agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Broncos to keep him in Denver for 2026. Ehlinger has made three career starts, all with Indianapolis in 2022, where he went 0-3, throwing three touchdowns to three interceptions. He served as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback in 2025, but according to NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, there would have been a market for his services had he reached free agency. With recent trade rumors swirling around primary backup Jarett Stidham, the Broncos are able to secure a level of depth behind third-year starter Bo Nix and retain a coaches' favorite in Ehlinger.

Garrett Nussmeier News
Thursday, June 18, 6:00 PM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has decent long-term upside as a potential handcuff option for Patrick Mahomes' fantasy managers. Mahomes is currently recovering from a torn ACL, so Justin Fields is expected to start Week 1. Nussmeier might be able to jump Fields on the depth chart, but more than likely, he'll be the primary backup until Mahomes returns. The LSU product was projected to be a mid-round pick, but fell to the Chiefs in the seventh round. Nussmeier didn't look great during his senior year, but threw for over 4,000 yards in 2024. Mahomes will eventually take his starting gig back, but who knows what kind of toll that torn ACL will take on his body long-term. Nussmeier isn't a bad stash option, given he could be one injury away from the starting job.
